Hydraulic Actuators

RFQ Number: N6660426Q0410 Amendment Number: 0001 The purpose of this amendment is to: Provide responses to vendor questions. Incorporate DFARS 252.204-7019, ‘Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirement,’ & DFARS 252.204-7020, NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements The offer due date of July 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT remains unchanged. VENDOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The following questions were received from industry and are answered below for all prospective offerors: Q1: The diagram provided in the attachment indicates a load requirement of 78,750 lbs, but other documentation suggests a different capacity. Can you confirm the correct load capacity? A1: The correct load capacity requirement is 16,000 lbs at 2000 PSI. The 78,750 lbs figure in the diagram is from a previous, unrelated requirement and should be disregarded, however the overall geometric layout should be approximately the same. Q2: Is a specific bore size required for the actuator? A2: No specific bore size is explicitly required, provided the actuator meets the 16,000 lbs load capacity. However, a 3.25" bore is suggested as appropriate. Q3: Does the government require MIL-spec material certifications for this procurement? A3: No, special material certifications (e.g., MIL-spec) are not required beyond standard DFARS compliance. Q4: What type of CUI, if any, will be processed, stored, or transmitted during the performance of this contract? A4: The exchange of Controlled Technical Information (CTI) is anticipated, which would include design drawings, hydraulic system specifications, overall system requirements, etc. Offerors must have a CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification or higher. Q5: Is a Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) expected to be delivered with these actuators? A5: A mechanical locking device is desired due to the extended locking duration (up to 1 year), though a counterbalance valve either on the cylinder or elsewhere in the system can act as a sufficient backup option. An HPU is not required under this RFQ. The government is soliciting a requirement for an HPU under a separate contract action (refer to N6660426Q0421). - - - - - -END OF AMENDMENT - - - - -- -- -  This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with  the format in FAR Part 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.  This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written  solicitation will not be issued.
